Hi folks, I swear I used to know this but can't find it anywhere.
Say I have a list x = [ 1,2,3,4,5 ] and only care about the first two items.
I'd like to assign the first two items to two variables, something like,

a, b, _ = x

but the above will not work, of course, but what is the common idiom
for this that does?

Cheers,
Daniel
